GV II

Estate house. C17 or earlier. Creamwashed rendered cob on stone footings; thatched
roof with a plain ridge, hipped at the right end, half-hipped at the left end;
rendered axial stack, front left stack with a brick shaft.
Plan: Details unclear as interior not inspected. Probably single depth, 3 rooms
wide with a baffle entry against the axial stack between the centre and right hand
room; the left hand room is heated from a lateral stack at the front; single storey
thatched outbuilding adjoins at right end.
Exterior: 2 storeys. Asymmetrical 3 window front plus 2 windows to the outbuilding.
Gabled porch to right of centre, the door converted to a window. 2-and 3-light C20
timber casements with glazing bars. The outbuilding has a door, a 3-light casement
and a loft door. The left return wall of the main block is thin, suggesting
rebuilding.
Interior: Access not available at time of survey, but the interior and roof may be
of interest: an interior inspection might necessitate revising the suggested dating.
In a crucial position at the west end of the village.
